Jacobson water level and stockings

[Jabbo]

They are going to keep dropping it to try and clear out some of the grass and weeds across the street at Ellerslie. You are right, that they do not thrive in Jacobson Park and it is stricktly for the FINS program.. When were they stocking them? or have they already done it?

it was stocked nov 3rd according to KDFW. It makes no sense to me to stock it then basically drain it

I think the KDFWR and the KAWC don't communicate very well in that respect.. Be that as it may... The trout wouldn't last that long either way. Catch em while ya can!!

I burned them up on tiny pieces of liver this spring. They are hardly big enough for a fillet better cooking them whole. I may try and go tomorrow before work and catch my limit. If they are biting it is every cast with liver.

dang. I've hit it 3 times, and also hit lake minga 3 times with zero luck. fishing with crappie powerbait, salmon eggs, and in-line spinners. looks like I need to pick up some livers!

Yep .. liver works. I've tried several times before, to catch some of those stocked cats on livers ... only to end up catching trout or having the Bluegill peck it all off before anything else could find it !! LOL !! Same thing on the Crappie Nibbles.

I'm pretty sure the survival rate of the trout is better than we might imagine ... considering that the trout have been caught in Ellerslie, so they must be able to get past the barrier in the culvert running under Richmond Rd, that connects the two bodies of water. Now, whether or not they survive the Bass & cats that roam Lake Ellerslie ... ???? LOL !!

We have one of those fins lakes where I live. I always caught them off the bottom by threading corn on the hook. I would catch my limit in 30 minutes and leave. If they weren't hitting the corn they would hit roostertails or small spoons.

Use as small as a hook as you can get away with and a piece of liver the size of your fingernail. once they find it you will get bit every cast and you will have to hold your rod. I had great luck between the golf pond and the lake right past the trees in the water.
